There is a bar in staggering distance from where we live near Ortona Lock.
Owned by a character…
So I’m told…
We’ve yet to meet…
Because he opens his Bud-Lite place when he pleases!
And we never catch each other.
I pass by on my bike sometimes and hear the music blaring,
Carly Simon,
The Beach Boys,
The Eagles,
My era-ish.
I see the door open,
I’m chased by a pair of Chihuahuas who cross the road and ignore yells of,
“Get back here now Romeo! I said NOW Butch!”*
I don’t stop but I really should because there’s no knowing when he may be opening his doors again.
I said to hubs,
“We may leave here without ever having The Local Bar experience!”
“Maybe that’s my goal!” he said back.
Next door is somewhere I’ll insist on visiting at least once though,
It’s one of those tempting places, especially when you’ve just come off a weekend of yummy, healthy, salads.
The very name satisfies me.
I can just hear the question as I lick my fingers,
“Where did you eat today?”
“There’s this great barbecue place near where we live,”
Don’t you just love it?
It makes my mouth water and my tummy rumble just walking past.
He was away this holiday weekend making somebody’s event finger lickin’ good.
What do you say hubs?
Maybe we’ll catch opening time at the bar too!

Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
